Run the bakery from one customer link

Two ways to sell, with the sales picture in one place

A box of six cupcakes should not wait for a quote. A wedding cake should not be squeezed through the same checkout. Confita gives each order the right path: Direct order for fixed-price products, Custom request for work that needs a quote, and Sales analytics to show what has been collected, what is still outstanding, and what customers buy most.

Sell

Two ways to sell, and a third for batches

Everyday products check out on the spot. Custom work gets questions, a quote and a deposit. Drops sit beside both.

Key takeaways
  • Direct order confirms fixed-price products without a quote wait.
  • Custom request collects the brief first, then moves through a private quote and deposit.
  • Sales analytics compares periods, channels, paid orders, average order value, and top products.
  • Customers order in the browser. Sellers work from any phone, tablet, or computer.

Use the sales flow that matches the product

The price tells you which path to use. Fixed products can go straight to confirmation. Variable work needs the customer brief before you commit.

Sell from one shop without forcing every order into one shape

Mark a product Direct order when its price and fulfilment choices are already clear. Mark it Custom request when you need the customer’s specifications before setting the final price.

Both can live in the same storefront. The product card makes the next step clear before the customer opens it, which keeps a quick purchase quick and a custom brief complete.

Then see what the orders add up to

Sales analytics turns paid orders into a useful operating view. Choose a period, compare it with the previous one, and see collected sales, outstanding balances, paid orders, average order value, sales channels, and top products.

This is sales reporting, not visitor tracking or accounting software. It does not claim to measure conversion rate, profit, inventory, taxes, or recipe cost.

Questions, answered

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between Direct order and Custom request?

Direct order is for a fixed-price product the customer can confirm immediately after choosing fulfilment and payment. Custom request is for variable work that needs questions, reference images, seller review, a private quote, and often a deposit.

Can one bakery use both workflows?

Yes. A bakery can sell a fixed-price cookie box through Direct order and take a wedding cake through Custom request in the same shop.

What does Confita Sales analytics include?

It includes collected and outstanding sales, paid orders, average order value, period comparisons, sales channels, and top products. It reports on sales recorded in Confita, not website traffic, profit, inventory, tax, or recipe cost.

Does Confita add a fee to each sale?

Not on your own Stripe or Square account: the money goes straight to you, Confita adds 0% and charges only the subscription, and the processor’s own rates apply. Confita Payments, the built-in option in the US and Canada, costs 3.9% + 30¢ per card payment with card processing included. Manual payment methods remain seller-managed.
